In a fight against "420" marijuana celebrations expected this Friday, at least eight counties in Colorado are holding alternative "420 Drug Free Day" events.High school students in Adams and Broomfield will compete to present the best drug free message for the county. Eagle County will host a soccer tournament, cook-out and bonfire for their teens on Friday.And students in Douglas...

C.U. has no problems with football games where thousands of drunken fans run amok-that's because the university makes money with those events. Legalize it and April 20th will be just another lovely spring day with no drama and Healthy and Drug Free Colorado could go after the real drug problem: prescription drug abuse.

I don't know, I just looked at the web site for Healthy and Drug Free Colorado, it seems to be more of an anti-marijuana message than anything. I read over every word on the front page of the site and it does not even mention one other drug other than marijuana. Hardly the 'drug' that should be the main focus of any anti-drug campaign. I am actually speechless, that is the most ridiculous website I have ever seen. Way to go providing such misleading information.

This is a shell organization funded by the Colorado Drug Investigators Association -- these criminals and their scheme to indoctrinate Colorado students with their self-serving lies should be stopped cold! The schools involved should be ashamed of allowing scum like these onto their campuses -- this is something like inviting a gang of pedophiles to lecture students on the evils of premarital sex.

Yeah. And their Top 10 Reasons Why NOT to Legalize Marijuana can be summed up as "because it is illegal it should be illegal". I am surprised there isn't a link to the Refer Madness movie on there somewhere.

About half their reasons have been demonstrated to be false from mmj legalization: crime rates will rise (no), addiction will rise (no), traffic accidents will rise (no), Colorado will attract the "wrong" tourists, look what it did to Amsterdam (nothing), think of the children crap even though it would only be legal for 21+ adults - like alcohol, etc.

BTW, I have NOT partaken of mj since I was a sophomore in college - ~30 years ago. I am just tired of my tax money being wasted on a futile effort of prohibition.
